Considering we'd just covered 80 or so miles, the last bit of which had involved a gruelling climb, this stretch was surprisingly enjoyable.
No more hills, just following the line of a river and coping with gently undulating terrain - which was a good job really as my legs decided at this point to stiffen up with the threat of cramp.
A change of pedal stroke seemed to have the right effect and after about five minutes the pain disappeared - much to my relief.
Jane still seemed to be progressing effortlessly, however... |
